About our air conditioning servicing in Abbotswood
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are humming, rattling or squealing from the system and no service record for the last year or more.
A yearly service suits most systems around Abbotswood, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

After we have gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Book the service at least once a year
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. On many wall-mounted units, the filters lift out easily, and the manual shows how.

Abbotswood questions
Will you come out to Abbotswood?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Abbotswood?
Yes. Abbotswood is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
At least once a year is a sensible routine for most systems. Where the system runs most of the year, more frequent servicing can help, and your manufacturer’s terms may set their own expectations.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What’s the price of a yearly air conditioning service?
It’s £95–£150 + VAT for an annual service. Where the system is larger or more complex, we price it from the details you give us and we confirm the cost in advance.
How it works
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Abbotswood.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

The indoor coil is where the air is cooled or warmed. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out and any damage is noted.
